Drake moulting

[tx_dane_mom]

Out of my quad of rouens I have 1 girl moulting i.e. I assume she is the 1 of the 3 not laying...and now I notice my drake is starting to moult...can any1 tell me if this ill effect his fertility? If so I want to quit selling my eggs ethically. He's still mating w/them...
Thanks,
Kristi

If he is mating, then he is fine. When he gets into full molt and the new feathers are coming in, he will likely stop or slow down the mating as it will be uncomfortable.

Thanks so much

I appreciate it! I just didn't want to dare send people eggs who weren't any good
